There has been visiting the city for a
few days Mr.. II. M. Williams, who has
recently returned from the Asiatic en-
pires, where he went to introduce the
electric light, and he says that the readi-
ness with which the Orientals adopt these
improvements is quite astonishing. In
Japan most Of the principal cities are now
lighted by electricity, as ours are, and
many Of the finest houses are Illuminated
in the same way. A large plant has re-
Gently been placed in the palace OF the
mikado at Toxic, a very large building, or
rather a cluster of buildings connected by
corridors and covering several acres. The
Chinese do not take hold of these improve
ments as readily as the Japs, but are be-
ginning to see their advantages. The
Coreans are ready to adopt all modern
ideas, particularly If they come from the
United States. The palace of the king Of
Corea has plant Of 300 lights, and was
first illuminated ON the birthday of the
kings mother-in-law, on the Goth Of Feb
ruary, with great ceremony. The palace
il at Seoul, and consists Of a series Of
long, low, wooden buildings, with q
matched roof. AS no foreigner is allowed
to look upon the features Of the king or
queen, the workmen took great risks
when they were putting in the apparatus,
for If they had even by accident seen the
face of the king they would have been put
to death, according to the custom of the
country. They were carried into the pal
ace and through the corridors in palan-
quins, and trumpeters were sent ahead Of
them 30 that the royal family might keep
out Of their way.-Chieago Herald.

It is as natural to q child to be
happy, as tits to fish to swim. But
for this they need a certain amount Of

for parents to hamper their children
with foolish restrictions. We pity

There is a picket fence in front Of the
house, and they are scarcely allowed
to go near it lest they should climb
and hurt themselves. They cannot
climb tree for the same reason.
They may not skate or swim, or have
gun. The consequence Of this
training is that their parents have
made towards of them all, with the
exception of little Bessie, who is the
most daring little mischief that ever
wore a sunbonnet, and she has
learned to be deceitful and plays all
her mad pranks well out Of sight of
her parents eyes. We caught her
the other day walking the railing of
a bridge that crossed the track Of a
railroad hundred feet below. The
railing was not a foot wide, and she
triumphantly told us that she had
walked it while the train was passing
under. It was enough to make one
shudder. Don't fancy your boy is
made out of glass. Grant q reason
able request, and let him feel that
when you refuse, it is for his own
good. Between the Jellybys and the
Gradgrinds oflife, children have
hard time Of it. The youngest child
needs some sort Of agreeable occupa-
ton, and certain amount Of physical
freedom. There is nothing more
painful to young people than to feel
that life is one dull routine, and that
nothing ever happens" as we once
heard q disconsolate lad remark.

Personal anecdotes are constantly told
and expected at the dinner party, and
nothing more surely casts damper over
O festive occasion than the introduc-
ton of choice anecdote touching some
person whom some guest feels the in
clination or duty to defend. 1t is neces-
sary also to know, before relating the
deliciously funny tale of the millionaire
who married his cook, that the father of
none Of the company has made similar
mesalliance, and one hardly gains appro-
baton in citing the case of the woman
who eloped with her footman when the
sister of his right hand neighbor has been
guilty of mistake of the same kind.
1t is needful also to acquire a well
selected stock Of anecdotes, bon mots, and
clever reflections, to add to it constantly, to
learn to introduce them deity and with
out apparent effort to tell them well, and
to adapt them to the particular company
for whose benefit they are uttered In
fact, in order to be a successful diner out,
one must be possessed of tact, patience,
polish; he must be flexible, keen and
adaptable; he must know all gastronomic
lore, be able to discover the point of O
dinner upon which the host prides him
self, and know how to show his knowl-
edge cleverly and agreeably.-Pioneer

A new business in which some en-
terprising Minnesotian can engage
with profit is that Of raising skunks.
Two men in Crawford county Penn.
are trying it and are making money.
They have started two ranches for the
purpose, one at Little's Corners and
another at Miller's Corners. The OBJ
ject is to secure the fur. It Is not
generally known that this fur forms
the trimming of costly cloaks for
women. It Is obtained now from the
animals caught in their wild state,
but finer and better can be obtained
by shutting the animals up and Inn
proving them by care. They are ex-
tremely prolific, and as the pelts are
worth one dollar apiece, as they come
from the animals, it is believed that
the business can be made to pay well.

In report prepared for the ministerial

project Of gradually diverting the trans
portation Of Russian convicts from Siberia
to the island OF Saghalien and certain dis
tricts in the Trans-C Caucasian and Central

prisoners passed along that highway. OF
this number no less than 1887 died on the
way and 101 1856 were sent from Atchinsk
to the most remote eastern settlements.
The report furnishes no record of the
probably larger number who persisted on

silent as to the cause of the 2,687 deaths
between Tiumen and Atchinsk. The fact
cannot, however, be disguised that the

Extract of logwood, ounces; bluestone,
4 drachms; mix these with 6 pints of boil

of raw linseed oil. This makes 10 10

"Arbor Day" originated In Linnoln
Nebraska, in the pear 1872. The State
Board of Agriculture being in session
early in January, the Hon. J. Sterling
Morton, introduced q resolution and
urged its adoption, whereby day
should he set apart each year for the
planting. The resolution was adj
opted, and "Arbor Day. came into
existence. 1t isnow legal holiday
and upon it's annual return the 22d
of April, the banks, public Offices
and business houses Gloss their doors.
The schools suspend their usual rou-
tine, and the people all celebrate the
day by planting something. The idea
was quickly taken up by other states
and now "Arbor Day" is generally
observed. The impetus given to tree
planting in this way is something al
most wonderful and under its in
fiuence many former barren spots are
now covered with shady groves.
